Columbia University Postdoctoral Researchers Authorize Strike After Six Months of Failed Negotiations

Postdoctoral Researchers at Columbia University have voted by over 90% to authorize a strike, following six months of unsuccessful contract negotiations. Around 1,000 postdocs, associate research scientists, and associate research scholars, represented by United Auto Workers (UAW) Local 4100, could walk out at any time due to unresolved disputes over appointment length, childcare funding, and other issues.
